Chennai, India, 1 Sep 2021 – Sify Technologies Limited (NASDAQ: SIFY), India’s most comprehensive ICT solutions provider with global service capabilities spanning Data Centers, Networks, Cloud, Infrastructure Managed services and Applications management, today announced a channel partnership with Colt Technology Services, a leading provider of high bandwidth and on-demand connectivity, to cover the European geography.

The partnership introduces Sify’s collaborative practices for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), the Infrastructure-as-a-Service that delivers on-premises computing power to run cloud-native and enterprise company’s IT workloads. This is made possible by Colt’s network connectivity capability with its On Demand service allowing specifically for connectivity to be flexed up for the OCI migration. Translated, that means, the customer gets the additional connectivity only when it is required.

Multiple businesses across Europe are beginning to leverage the full benefits of Oracle Enterprise Cloud offering. Most of these businesses are also struggling with expertise to plan and migrate Oracle workloads and licensing to a more commercially viable solution. This new partnership allows the adoption of OCI to be done efficiently over a fast, reliable, and secure network connection.

With Colt’s Dedicated Cloud Access and On-Demand offerings, customers can securely and reliably provision new connectivity services on a low latency, high-performance network in a matter of hours compared to weeks and months. The On-Demand offering scales the bandwidth as per the application or workload consumption patterns thereby resulting in substantial cost savings.

Justin Polley, Commercial Director, Sify Europe said, “This engagement combines Sify’s deep Oracle consulting experience with Colt’s European flexible networking services. The combination enables Oracle Cloud adoption at a much faster pace, to extremely high standards and at a much lower cost. Furthermore, the unification of resources brings unrivalled expertise in migrating many other types of databases to the Public cloud”.

Colt was the clear choice for this partnership because they have invested heavily in best-in-class Cloud connectivity to deliver dedicated, secure, and high-bandwidth connectivity in near real-time customer Cloud migrations.

Mark Hollman, VP Partner Development & Success, Colt said, “We know there’s a direct correlation between the success of enterprise cloud projects and reliable connectivity. Moving to the cloud is more mission-critical than ever, and Enterprises need a robust cloud connectivity strategy to evolve. That’s why we are delighted to partner with Sify. Together, we can unlock and amplify our joint value to power Enterprises’ migrations to Oracle Cloud”.

Sify is an accredited member of the Oracle Partner Network for the OCI Cloud Sell and Service specifically in the areas of solution assessment, implementation and migration, Cloud management, colocation and DR-as-a-service.

Chennai, 30 June 2021— Sify Technologies Limited (NASDAQ: SIFY), India’s most comprehensive ICT solutions provider today announced that the Coffee Table book produced to commemorate their 20th year of listing on Nasdaq has won the Gold at the Asia Pacific Stevie awards 2021.

The innovatively packaged book in larger-than-standard size was a runaway winner in the Award for Innovation in Marketing or Sales Literature category with 32 judges voting for it and one judge commenting, “What’s old is new again. Extremely innovative way of presenting the information”.

The entry titled “Reading a book is good for your eyes and our business” uses a nostalgic Tintin styled old-word storytelling that takes decision makers on a journey of Sify’s strengths, woven into a disparate teenage group’s discovery of their capabilities.

Chairman of Sify Technologies, Raju Vegesna, said, “We are delighted that our endeavor to interpret our marketing collaterals through our disruptive DNA has been recognized at the global level. This award proves that an incisive marketing narrative that sets itself away from the run-of-the-mill will undoubtedly draw attention to itself. To be recognized among the best in the business sets the bar higher for all future Sify marketing activities”.
